Russ Scholl's "periodic table of snow" contains more than 100 different slang names for snow.

March is Colorado’s snowiest month. And if you live in Colorado, you know that amazing powder brings with it truly astonishing sunburns for skiers and snowboarders. Today on ITN: A Colorado State University snow expert on the science behind why a day on the slopes takes such a harsh toll on your skin.

Manipulating the clouds to make it rain or snow might sound like science fiction – but farmers and ski resorts have used these techniques for years. KUNC water reporter Alex Hager recently asked whether the technology might help the drought-stricken Colorado River Bain. Alex shares what he learned on today’s In The NoCo.

Sculptors have finished up their creations for this year’s International Snow Sculpture Championships in Breckenridge, and they're much more impressive than your average snowman.

Climate experts, diplomats, mountain guides and artists from Switzerland spoke at a conference in Boulder this week about melting ice and snow.

Colorado's Rocky Mountains have reached peak snowpack, but climate change is changing the way snow turns to water. States around the region are debating new rules for the river that center around new water deficits.

As snow hydrologists fan across the western U.S. to measure peak snowpack this spring, citizen scientist Billy Barr will be measuring snow — as always — at 9,500 feet outside his cabin in the remote mountain town of Gothic in central Colorado. This is Barr's 50th year logging snowfall amounts there.

The wet season got off to a weak start in the Mountain West, but federal officials say recent winter storms have helped strengthen some snowpacks.

Silver iodide has been the dominant ingredient for cloud seeding in the West, but it doesn't work so well in warm temperatures.

Wednesday's study in the journal Nature finds a key threshold for the future of snowpacks in the Northern Hemisphere: 17.6 degrees. In places where the winter averages colder than that, often the snowpack survives because it's cold enough. But areas warmer than 17.6 degrees for a winter average, like the Upper Colorado River basin, tend to see their winter wonderland dreams melt.
